I think the most important thing is to be as hinest and forthcoming as possible.
I don't think childhood measles, mumps, chickenpox matter. Most of us have had them, at least those of us who are older.
However, the other conditions you mentioned should definitely be disclosed. Any current conditions should be disclosed. Any previous abnormal lab work should be disclosed. (So Epstein Barre, seizures, bipolar disorder should all be disclosed along with anything else you have not mentioned.) Often treatment can proceed but the doc needs to know about current and previous medical problems because sometimes adjustments need to be made.
The bipolar disorder won't disqualify you unless it is not controlled. There are plenty of us treating who have histories of either unipolar or bipolar disorder. The docs will probably want you to be evaluated by a psychiatrist (unless you are already being treated by one) and also they will want you on meds for the disorder while treating (at least I am pretty sure they will). Interferon can cause depression and mood disorders so that needs to be under control before treatment starts. Again, many of us are on antidepressants and we are doing fine on treatment.
Just be as honest and forthcoming as possible. Here's wishing you the best.
Don't exclude any information when it comes to discussions with your doctor.
Have you had a biopsy yet? Just curious because you're already anticipating needing immediate Tx.
Seemed overwhelmed but you have to try and remain calm and get a clear train of thought before discussions with your doctor.
Thanks , I didn't know if I should be posting multiple questions or just discuss it in one thread. I'm new to this whole forum thing. I stay very informed and with time will be able to contribute my own knowledge. So I will re post this question in one of the other threads and delete this one (if I can).
Just a suggestion . You have three different threads going at the same time :).
There is nothing wrong with asking lots of questions y,however it would be much easier for us to help out if you just stick to one thread .so everybody isn't jumping around and not knowing what has already been answered.
There are some very knowlegable folks here that will help you with all your questions..
Best ..
Will
You can stick with this thread or one of the others,and ask away :)
